So..... we have the first EVER Lightning Amps Blog Post... :) Just a wee update to keep everyone in the loop of what is happening.

Lots of amp repairs, pedal mods and other fun things are keeping me very busy! Had a BEAUTIFUL 70's Super Twin in for repair the other day, as well as a 1973 Roland RE-100 Space Echo (YUM). Getting some gorgeous tones from them, it makes me CRAVE a new amp.

I've also been working on some Whammy IV Mods. Eliminating the tone-sucking bypass for a high-quality buffered bypass. It makes it usable!!!

Ok, back to the original pedals.... the PCB's for 'The Fuzz' and 'The Buffer' are officially being manufactured as we speak! I should be receiving them some time over the next fortnight, and then the go into production! There are 3 models of Fuzz to choose from: Standard Gain, High Gain and Germanium. Info at http://www.lightningamplification.com.au/.

Custom Cabling. Now this is something that you need to check out! I've ALWAYS found that whenever you don't want them to die, cables manage to cark it. I thought to myself; 'What can I do to fix this!!!'. The solution - custom cabling that DOESN'T DIE, and sounds amazing! All cables are made from super-high quality Canare and Neutrik parts, and are covered with a tough tech-flex coating, to minimise wear and tear. Tech-flex also makes cables extremely easy to coil, and it doesn't kink.

Patch cabling is also available. They are made of the same high-quality components as the full instrument leads. Contact me for pricing at info@lightningamplification.com.au.
